' c EDWARD J. FELL N, 0F MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN;

SC EEN-Hansen;

Application filed February 19, 1915. Seria1'Nol9,302. i

To all whom it may concern a i Be it known that I, EDWARD J FELLMAN, a citizen of the'United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee' and State of Wisconsin, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements n Screen-Hangers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof. i

My invention consists in what is herein particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims of this'specification, its object being to provide simple, economical and efli cientihangers for swinging half-screens applicable to windows, the construction and relative arrangement "of' the hanger-members being such inpractice, that a screen may be readily positioned or removed, and provision is had for preventing accidental displacement of the hung screeng Figure l of the drawings is indicated by line 1-1 in Fig. 2, and it represents a vertical sectional View of a window-framelhaving a half-screen connected thereto b'yfmyl improved hangers; Fig. 2, a similar View f said frame, glazed-sash therein and the hung screen, the view being indicated by line 22 in Fig. l, and Fig. 3, a partly sectional plan view indicated by line 33 in Fig. 2.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 4 indicates a half-screen and secured to the sash-stiles of the same are members of my improved hangers, these members being of right and left construction.

Each of the hanger-members aforesaid is a plate 5 having an upper shoulder 6, and an upper wing 7, the wing being at a right angle to the remainder of the plate and provided with a vertical notch having a flaring entrance in the lower edge of said wing,

The plate 5 is fastened to a screen-stile by screws 8, and the wing of said plate is par allel to a blind-stop of the window frame when the screen is hung.

Fastened to each blind-stop 9 of the win dow-frame, by an escutcheon-pin 10 and a shouldered pivot-nail 11, is another hangermember 12 and the pivot-nail, outward from its shoulder, is for engagement 'with the wing-notch of one or the other of the previously described hanger-members.

Each hanger-member 12 is a bracket having an angular outer transverse rib 13 that takes the place of some of the shut-off stop 14 of the screen that is cut away to provide Specification of Letters ram Patented o r. 5, 1915,;

for the placing of one of the plate-members ofthe-hanger, said rib being preferably hollow to lighten said bracket. The rib shown a isa U-shaped projection of:.thebracket. 12.

The shoulders 6 of the first described hanger-members abut the shut-off stop 14 of? the, screen over the same and thus 'an'accurate gage for setting of saidzhanger-mem hers is insured.v I Thescreen being in th'e: position shown, thef ribql8 of each hanger-member attached toa'blind-stop of the window frame formsafst'op opposing the headvof one of the;

screws 8 to prevent liftingof said screen,

without. firstswinging the same outward on the. pivots -11. Hence accidental displace-T i ment ofV-thescreen is avoided,

To-hang thescreen it is only necessary to I place'the sameso that the wings 7 ofyitsl right and lefthanger-members will be par: allel to the blind-stops of the window-frame and abovethe pivots aforesaid, so that upon a letting go of said screen or a lowering of the: same there :is an Y automatic engagement of th'e notches of said wings with said pivots; It is also to be noted that the disposition and the height of the wings '7 of the han er-members attached to the screen is such that said screen may be swung outward to an angle of any degree between intersecting vertical and horizontal planes without danger of its displacement from the pivots,

the upper sash serving as a stop to prevent clearance of said pivots by said wings.

The hangers herein specified are furnished the trade in sets to be applied by carpenters. i

. I claim:

l. A hanger comprising a plate-member attachable to a stile of a half-screen and having an upper wing at a right-angle to the remainder thereof designed toparallel a blind-stop of a window-frame, a bracketmember attachable to the blind-stop and provided with an outer transverse rib that takes the place of a cut away portion of the shut-off stop of the screen, and a pivot that extends from said bracket-member above the rib thereof for engagement with a vertical notch provided in the wing of said plate-member.
